In POP3, you can set mails over a certain size to be truncated on downloading. 
However, downloading the full messages causes the 'Order Received' value for the
message to change, and become the newest mail.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set "To save disk space, do not download | Messages larger than 256kb"
2. Receive a mail with a 500KB attachment, then some other emails.
3. Click "Click here to download the rest of the message" in the truncated email

Actual Results:  
'Order Received value of mail changes, causing the mail to move to the front
(most recently received message).

Expected Results:  
Retain the same order received value as the truncated version.

This is how Order Received works; it can't be changed.
